Photographs of Haiti hurricane victims

Haiti was ravaged by a hurricane last year, that led to much devastation in an already poor country. Patrick Farrell was there to document the tragedy for the world to see. And now he has won a Pulitzer prize. I won’t congratulate him, but I thank him for his efforts.

The lifeless body of 5 year old Tamasha Jean, the daughter of Frantz Samedi, is loaded onto a pickup truck in Cabaret.
